There are 6 exceptionally large bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, each with a private ensuite and walk-in closet—perfect for multi-generational living or extended guests.

The spectacular great room features soaring cathedral ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace, custom built-ins, and panoramic lake views. From here, it's common to see majestic eagles gliding across the water, adding to the serene setting. The main-floor primary suite offers a private lakeview balcony, marble fireplace, jetted tub, rain shower, dual marble sinks, a walk-in closet, and nautical porthole window with patio seat. The chef’s kitchen boasts a 6-burner Viking range, double wall oven, Miele panel-front dishwasher, granite island, copper ceiling, and custom cabinetry.
